A week before school was out, the kids got two days off school for Memorial Day weekend. We didn’t know what to do but wanted to do one more quick getaway before we officially called it for the school year. So we decided to drive down to Los Angeles.
We don’t go to LA nearly enough considering how close it is. It’s only a 5 hour drive from us and it’s one of our favorite cities. Especially because we love Venice Beach, the diversity of LA and Jake has a good friend from college that we both love who lives there.
On this particular trip we got to go to the Griffith Observatory, La Brea Tar Pits, Venice Beach, meet with our friends and their awesome kids, and go to Santa Monica Boulevard. We also went to the beach. Considering we were there for just two days, it was a full and joyous vacation. We got to stay at this lovely hotel with a pool so the kids also spent a lot of time in the pool.
All in all, Los Angeles never disappoints.
